Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a double-side supported balance structure for measuring the influence of intake and exhaust, and belongs to the field of aerodynamics. Background Art

[0002] Wind tunnel force measurement test is the most basic test item in wind tunnel test, and wind tunnel balance is the direct measurement equipment of aerodynamic load. In the process of aircraft development, the intake and exhaust of the aircraft will directly affect its aerodynamic performance. The air intake is the interface of the aircraft propulsion system, and the influence of the intake effect on the lift surface flow is particularly obvious. Through the intake and exhaust effect wind tunnel test, the influence of the intake and exhaust on the aerodynamic performance of the whole aircraft can be obtained.

[0003] Most modern aircrafts have a flat layout and a large lift surface, but the middle part of the fuselage is occupied by the air intake, which leaves insufficient space for the balance installation. Therefore, the present invention proposes a double-sided support balance structure for measuring the effects of intake and exhaust, which can achieve high-precision measurement of the load in the aircraft intake and exhaust effect wind tunnel test. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that there is a complete air inlet in the middle of the wing of the aircraft, the internal space is small, the balance cannot be installed, and the measurement requirements of the six-component load cannot be met. A brief overview of the present invention is given below to provide a basic understanding of certain aspects of the present invention. It should be understood that this overview is not an exhaustive overview of the present invention. It is not intended to determine the key or important parts of the present invention, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention: A double-side support balance structure for measuring the impact of intake and exhaust, comprising an aircraft fuselage shell, an intake duct upper cover, a double-support balance, a bellows and a fixed support; The double-support balance comprises a front shell matching section, a front air inlet, an air inlet lower cover, a support balance and a rear shell matching section. The aircraft fuselage shell and the double-support balance are connected and installed through the front shell matching section. The front side of the air inlet lower cover is connected to the rear side of the front shell matching section. The left and right sides of the front shell matching section and the rear shell matching section are both connected through the support balance. The support balance is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air path as a double support. An air inlet upper cover is installed on the top of the air inlet lower cover. The air inlet upper cover and the air inlet lower cover jointly form a middle air inlet. The front air inlet is connected to the middle air inlet. A rear air inlet is arranged inside the rear shell matching section. A fixed support is installed at the bottom of the rear shell matching section. A bellows is installed between the air inlet upper cover and the rear shell matching section. A vent is processed on the fixed support. The front end of the rear air inlet is connected to the middle air inlet through the bellows, and the rear end of the rear air inlet is connected to the vent.

[0006] Preferably: a fixed end assembly surface is arranged at the bottom of the rear shell matching section, an assembly surface is processed on the fixed support, and the fixed support and the rear shell matching section are matched through the fixed end assembly surface and the assembly surface.

[0007] Preferably: a sealing ring is provided at the matching position between the rear air inlet and the air vent.

[0008] Preferably, the bellows is provided with a front flange and a rear flange at the front and rear sides respectively, the front flange is fixedly connected to the rear ends of the air inlet upper cover and the air inlet lower cover, and the rear flange is fixedly connected to the front end of the rear shell mating section.

[0009] Preferably, the front air intake duct, the middle air intake duct, the bellows, the rear air intake duct and the air vents together constitute an air intake and exhaust passage.

[0010] Preferably, there are at least two exhaust passages.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The bellows structure adopted in the present invention connects the rear air intake duct and the air intake passage, thereby avoiding affecting the rigidity of the supporting balance and realizing the ventilation function; 2. The present invention can realize the measurement of intake effect and exhaust effect respectively by changing the blocking position of the front and rear air intake ducts of the supporting balance; adopt the method of front air intake and rear blocking to realize the measurement of intake effect; when the front is blocked and the rear is ventilated, the measurement of exhaust effect can be realized; 3. The present invention integrates the balance with the aircraft air inlet and shape to form a fusion balance, which realizes the six-component aerodynamic load measurement of the aircraft with a flat layout and a central air inlet structure in a limited space; 4. The double-support balance of the present invention is arranged on both sides of the air inlet duct, symmetrical along the neutral plane, and the load is measured without eccentricity. The strain gauge pasting position is arranged at the same cross section in front and back, and the strain gauges are bridged at the same cross section to eliminate the internal stress of the front and back temperature gradient. The double-support balance on the left and right sides is combined to improve the accuracy of the balance; 5. The present invention adopts a frame-type double-support structure as a whole, and uses the outer shape to close the double-support balance front and back, which has strong overall rigidity. Compared with the split-structure double-support, it reduces the installation repeatability error and ensures the repeatability of different period tests; 6. The present invention adopts a calibration method with fuselage loading. Different from the conventional balance calibration in which the balance body is calibrated and then installed for testing, the present invention simulates the actual measurement state after the fuselage, bellows, etc. are fully assembled, and the assembly stress of the bellows, etc. is converted into internal force, which is eliminated during calibration, thereby improving the test measurement accuracy.
